Team 4 - Big Wang Theory ONLY

This thread is for discussion by Team 4 - Big Wang Theory

If you are not Darth Vilus, Danny, or Autumn get out!

Thanks!

[Autumn]

Nice that we picked Good. We're the heroes here! And we have big wangs!

[Darth Vilus]

and lonely maidens :-)

I'd say fast track for this one but let's discuss it first

[Autumn]

I was thinking Fast Track too, but maybe just because I get to sneak past and save the maiden ;-) Hopefully you two would be tough enough to take the viper.

What spells do you have Darth?

[Autumn]

I'm thinking that the repercussions here for going fast are a higher likelihood of you guys getting knocked out (or me knocked out if I don't sneak well). It seems better to save our "slow moves" for cases where we can obtain some treasure or advantage. I don't know.

[Danny]

Darth is working, he has missile and light spell.

[Autumn]

All right, with missile and your sword hopefully we're in good shape. You took Strength as your bonus?

[Danny]

Yes

[Danny]

So yeah, let's go for the speed

[Autumn]

I'm good with that.

[Danny]

Im off to class, things are in your hands Autumn.

[Autumn]

All right it's taken care of.

[KWhit]

Darth and Danny back the viper against the rocks below the maiden as Autumn heads for the lock holding her. The maiden screams "Help me!" distracting the viper and Danny attacks first. Miss.

The viper swipes its tail in defense at Danny and hits, knocking him to the ground.

The viper then attacks with his poisonous fangs. Hit! Ouch! Danny is hurt. And Poisoned.

DV lets loose a Magic Missile which slams into the Viper.

Danny stands up as the DJ laughs in the background.

The viper swipes again at Danny and misses.

A fang strike from the viper hits Danny again.

Darth shoots another Magic Missile at the viper. Again it connects.

Danny swings his sword and connects! The viper is really bleeding now.

A viper fang attack hits Danny again. Can this snake ever miss?

Darth hits with another missile. Won't this viper die? Not yet.

Danny swigs his healing potion. He is fully cured of the poison and regains his HP.

The viper attacks again, missing finally.

And Darth puts it out of its misery with a well placed Magic Missile right between the eyes!

The viper falls to the ground, dead.

You have defeated the viper!

Meanwhile, Autumn has freed the lock and the maiden steps free.

The maiden plants a wet kiss on Autumn's lips and says "Thank you" in a way only a maiden can before the referee grabs you and points you toward a door in the side of the coliseum. You rush through it and into the next room.

It took your team 4 turns to make it through this challenge. Well done.

[Autumn]

Nice work guys. Sorry you got so banged up Danny.

[Darth Vilus]

lol, our adventurer took a few hits, ouch. Swing that sword brother! Nice work guys

[Danny]

Can we trade things/money among each other?

[Danny]

Anyway I think I am just going to buy some healing potions for now.

Kwhit put me down for 2 healing potions.

You two should be able to get away with just your 1 and saving for some better items.

[Autumn]

I assume we can pool together. I guess we should clarify that. But I would definitely suggest healing potions for you at least Danny.

[Autumn]

If we don't pool together I'll probably get the 50' rope and the empty flask. I assume most will go the obvious route and get the potions or the +1 lockpick,but I trust that the rope and flask will come in handy at some point. If we're the only ones with it, all the better.

[Autumn]

I did get clarification that we can pool our money. So that brings things into consideration like the +1 longsword or the rune of magic warding. I think Danny you already sent in your thing so unless you and I want to pool Darth, I'll just spend myself.

[KWhit]

Note that this is in the TEAM THREAD. People's rooms may or may not be different from here on out. You are free to discuss in the main thread if you so choose.



You quickly make your purchases from the old man and continue through a door clearly marked for your team. At least you won't get lost. Not yet, anyway.

Upon entering the next room, you are blinded. You see nothing but white. Fearing the worst, you reach for your weapons, but your vision clears in a moment and you realize it's just the lights from the TV camera crew standing in front of you.

TV monitors line the walls and you see the audience assembled in the coliseum. You realize that they are still there watching you on closed circuit TV. Cheers and boos rain down on you from the monitors. You're separated from the other teams now and wonder if they are in a similar room.

In the middle of the room are 5 numbered chests. The numerals go from 1 to 5. You take stock and notice that chests number 1 and 5 appear to be locked. The others are not.

The audience members are yelling from the stands, trying to get you to pick certain chests, but you can't glean any useful information from that as they seem to contradict each other. However, you do notice a member of the camera crew (unfortunately, it is not Scud Farkus) trying to catch your eye. He points at chest number 4 and quickly shakes his head as if to say "don't."



Decision Time:

I need you to tell me which chests (if any) you want to open and which character opens which ones. You can take enough time to open them all if you like or you can ignore the chests and rush through the room.

In addition, I need to know if you want to open the chests quickly or take the time to check for traps. Any character can try to check for traps, but your Specialist will obviously be better at it. You realize that any of the chests could be trapped, even the ones that are unlocked.

So send me something that lists each chest and if you want to open it or ignore it. If you want to open it, tell me who opens it and whether they want to check for traps or do it quickly.

Each team should PM me their order by 9pm tonight.

[KWhit]

I was asked a question that I thought I would clarify for everyone.

The question was basically if the time element still mattered in this room. Yes.

There is a time element to every action you take. You are currently in a race to the end of the dungeon, so the clock is always ticking. Just because I posted a time at the end of that first room doesn't mean that the race is paused. Your other competitors are still going through their sections as fast as they can, so I'll be calculating the standings all the time.

Even casting spells takes time.

For instance, in this room, you decide who opens what chest which impacts how long it takes to progress. A single people can open multiple chests, but the clock is ticking. If you take the time to have one person open all 5 chests, that will take a lot longer than all three of you getting involved. Or you could just choose to each open one chest and then move to the next room. Your choice.

[Autumn]

All right, I'll be heading out in a few hours, so I'll try to get my involvement done here. Unfortunately I'll have to leave things up to you guys for tomorrow and Friday noon probably.

I think the cameraman is helping us out becuase we're the only good guys. So I'm willing to follow his hint and avoid #4.

I don't think we should take too long here. There might be something real useful, there might also be a bunch of traps. So I guess I wouldn't suggest anyone open more than one chest.

Which means probably I should try one of the locked ones, you guys take 2 and 3? We should probably all check for traps. What do you think?

[Darth Vilus]

I concur on the cameraman, I can not sense any deception in him. I'd also pick chest 1 over 5 for you to try to unlock.

I'd think Hunc should try his luck at chest 2 while I'll try my hand at chest number 3.

As for checking for traps i think it's a good idea but we should hear from hunc first. That is if he can string a sentence together after yesterday.

[Darth Vilus]

I'm going to be out the rest of the day so i'll miss deadline.
It's up to Hunc to put in the PM order. as of right now it's

Chest 1 - Dominic picks open and looks for traps
Chest 2 - Hunc checks for traps and opens
Chest 3 - Vahlmas checks for traps and opens
Chest 4 - Ignore
Chest 5 - Ignore

You can change it if you like Danny, i trust your judgement

[Autumn]

I agree with this plan.

[Danny]

That's a good plan and what I will likely be submitting today.

[KWhit]

Autumn checks for traps (none) and then unlocks chest 1. Inside you find 200gp! Nice.

Danny tries his hand at chest 2. It's a good thing he checked for traps. He disarms an acid trap in short order and inside finds 1 healing potion. You may also take the vial of acid from the trap.

DV also finds a trap in chest 3. This one is a poison trap. Unfortunately, the chest is empty, except for the flask of poison. You take it.

You skip chest 4 and 5 and you press onward into the next room after 2 turns. You made it through very quickly!

[KWhit]

Room 4:

This room is small and dimly lit. In the middle of the room are two small marble fountains, bubbling liquid. One fountain is carved with arcane runes and symbols that you cannot make out. A green liquid bubbles from it. The other fountain is carved with the symbols for the Sun and Moon. A pale red liquid flows within it.

No exits are visible.

What do you do? Let me know my noon tomorrow.

[Darth Vilus]

So what do u guys want to do about this?

[Danny]

So far I am thinking green fountain as green=go and red=stop. Plus sun and moon tends to imply being stuck here for a whole day (sun to moon).

[Danny]

From there, I am not sure what action specifically to take?

Inspect green fountain? Drink from green fountain? Etc...

I likely won't be up in time, and not sure if Darth will be either.

Autumn, I am sending in an order to walk to and inspect green fountain and drink if necessary. Feel free to change this as I just want to make sure we get an action in of some sort.

[KWhit]

Danny takes some of the Green and pours it into the red.

Immediate screaming can be heard (from inside the bowl).

Smoke starts to billow from both fountains. From the fountain with arcane symbols, an Imp appears. A priest appears from the fountain with the Sun and Moon.

When they see each other, they ignore you and begin to do battle.

"Help me!" says the priest. Which you do.

The battle is a short one. The priest and imp were pretty evenly matched, so your assistance put a swift end to the imp. It disappears in a cloud of smoke. In his wake appear 150gp.

The priest thanks you and instructs you to drink from the red liquid. You do and are immediately healed.

Autumn takes some of the liquid into his empty flask, giving you 1 additional healing potion.

He wishes you luck on your journey and hands Danny a Medallion of Good. You're not sure what it does, but the Priest assures you that it will help you.

Let me know if you want to wear it (and who is wearing it).

The priest ushers you through a secret door and into the next room.

[KWhit]

The next room is posted in the main thread.

[KWhit]

Autumn has made level 3.

[Darth Vilus]

Sweetness!

[Danny]

Seems like a good result, too bad we didn't get that sword, though maybe it was an evil only thing. Not sure my decision had anything to do with it or not.

[Darth Vilus]

i put in to dump the green in the red to see what would happen b4 anyone drank anything

[Danny]

Ah ok, good decision lol.

[KWhit]

Danny and Autumn are now Level 3!

[Danny]

Cool, wasnt Autumn already level 3 though?

[Danny]

I put on necklace of good which made me even more good and gives me a bonus vs evil characters.

[KWhit]

So here's the deal.

1st thing you have to do is nurse DV back to consciousness. That brings him to 1hp.

Then you can decide whether you want to use healing potions to cure your HP or not.

And Danny and Autumn are both still poisoned.

A single healing potion will either heal you completely OR cure the poison and heal just a few points of HP. Let me know how you want to use it. Using 2 potions on a single person will cure poison and heal all HP.

Let me know tomorrow how you want to handle it.

[Danny]

We have four potions, we have to give DV some health as we cant afford him passing out again. That leaves us with 3.

I say both Autumn and I drink back to full health, stay poisoned and leave the last potion for a potential battle.

[Danny]

nvm, I see the update. I am not bad on health, so maybe a cure poison + little heal for me, heal for darth and a heal for Autumn saving one potion.

[Danny]

Too bad DV didnt survive and level, so we could get more hp efficiency from his heal.

[KWhit]

Room 6: The Hallway

A door opens to the right of the 4 buttons. A referee ushers you through. As he does, you hear him mutter under his breath, "You guys suck."

"Hurry up!" he says.

You ignore him and press on.

You rush through and into a hallway.

You follow the arrows.

Travelling along the hall, you see three doors, all on your right.

A sign on Door 1 reads: Lots of experience in here.

A sign on Door 2 reads: Need some supplies?

And the sign on Door 3 is a large Question Mark.

And the hallway continues further on ahead, the arrows still pointing forward along the floor.

Do you open a door and enter one of the rooms? If so, tell me which one.

Or do you continue down the hall?
